Human Rights Under Scrutiny as Saudi Executions Hit All-Time High in 2024
Reports indicate that Saudi Arabia has executed more than 300 people in 2024, marking its highest number ever recorded in a single year.
The executions were carried out for crimes ranging from murder to drug trafficking, reflecting the country’s strict interpretation of Islamic law.
International human rights organizations have criticized this surge, raising concerns over the fairness of trials and the use of the death penalty.
Saudi authorities defend their practices as upholding justice and maintaining societal order.
